This week’s spelling words are words that are commonly misspelled. There are two options – guess which one you think is correct and then check them to see if you are correct. You can check using the internet or a dictionary. Test someone else at home or test your friends to see if they can spell them correctly!
accommodation or accomodation
achieve or acheive
buisness or business
conscious or concious
existance or existence
immediately or immediatly
knowlege or knowledge
occurred or occured
seperate or separate
tomorrow or tommorrow
You can also write each word out and write the rule for that word e.g. 2 Cs, 1 M, no e

This week, we will revise numbers in French, or another language if you want to learn.
Start with 0-20. This song is EPIC. We all know it and love it. Give it a listen, then try a French numbers game.

Main task
Today, we are going revise some punctuation. Inverted commas are also called speech marks. Inverted means turned inside out or turned backwards.

Watch these videos and then try the task. You can then open a reading book and have a look at how the author uses speech marks. Sometimes they break up the sentences with words between the speech, even though the person is speaking in one continuous sentence.
For example
“Quickly” Mum said “before it gets dark”.
We are also working on reading for an extended period of time. This will be particularly useful during lockdown as it takes your mind off other things. Why not try and read your favourite book/magazine/website for 20 minutes today without getting distracted.
Maths
Remember the nrich factors game? This really helps us to understand multiplying, dividing and number patterns. Have 5 goes and see how long a chain you can make. ***don’t google answers!***

We are going to recap some information on fractions which we started a few weeks ago.
A fraction is a piece of something, just like a decimal. It is a number which is between 0 and 1.
However, unlike a decimal, a fraction can also be a whole number – this is when the top number (numerator) and bottom number (denominator) are the same.
e.g. 2/2 4/4 7/7 100/100
This website is excellent at explaining what a fraction is and each page has 10 questions at the bottom. Read through the website and try the questions to check your understanding.
